Praying for a Christmas Miracle, asking for Prayers Frens...
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
If anyone sees this and has time, please pray for my brother and my family this Christmas. There has been some underlying conflict and turmoil for years between my brother and the rest of my family, but this year has been the worst. It looks to be a very sad Christmas for us this year, and we're just hoping and praying my brother doesn't hurt himself or others because of this. Please pray for his conversion, and that maybe someday there can be peace and unity in our family again. I will also pray for everyone here on the site and for your families. God bless.
Lord, send your angels to valley-lily’s brother. Vanquish any evil or unrest that resides there in his family. Let them experience your amazing peace. We ask in Jesus name, Amen.
Amen
Thank you, God bless! I will pray for you and your family too.
Amen!
Amen
Amen. 🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏
Dear Lord We lift up this family to father, and ask you to give them a complete healing of their family unit. We pray, Lord, that you would enter the hearts and minds for each person in the family, especially this brother… And ask him to soften hearts, and bring a reconciliation. We’re asking for a simple Christmas miracle, Lord. In Jesus name amen 🙏
Amen.
Much thanks fren. Christmas is a time for miracles, both big and small, and I'm hoping that God will grant us this one if it be His will. Praying for you too.
Amen
Amen! 🙏
Amen
O God, our heavenly Father, who lovest mankind and art most merciful and compassionate, have mercy upon Thy servants, Valley-Lily and Valley-Lily's brother and family, for whom I humbly pray Thee and commend to Thy gracious care and protection.
Be Thou, O God, their guide and guardian in all their endeavors, lead them in the path of Thy truth, and draw them nearer to Thee, that they may lead a godly and righteous life in Thy love and fear, doing Thy will in all things.
Give them grace that they may be temperate, industrious, diligent, devout, and charitable.
Defend them against the assaults of the enemy, and grant them wisdom and strength to resist all temptation and corruption of this life, and direct them in the way of salvation:
Through the merits of Thy Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the intercessions of His Most-Holy Mother and of all Thy blessed Saints. Amen
Amen.
Amen
Thank you, this is such a nicely thought out prayer. I especially appreciate you including the intercessions of Our Lady and the Saints. I've said a prayer for you and your family as well. God bless.

Thank you! It’s going to be better this year, just pray. God wants all of his children together and there is a reason God intended us to be raised in a nuclear family. Merry Christmas. I’ll keep you in my prayers😊

Thank you, prayers have been sent for you too.
Amen, we all need prayers right now. We lift up Jesus name because of who He is!
Praying!
Thanks fren, I have prayed for you too.
Thanks much brother!
If he has kids he should want peace in the family for Christmas for them, and if not he should do it for your mom. I can imagine her suffering. No blame, no pulling off scabs of past wounds, just PEACE!
The Peace of Christ be with you all!
Thank you. He isn't married, but you are right that he should do it for our mom. She's suffered the most over the years because of the things he's said and done. She prays for him constantly, always hopeful he'll return home like the prodigal son. I will be sure to pray for you and your family too.
I experienced family horror at spouse-anon's family Christmases and other times as well. It was SHOCKING to me and traumatic! And unnecessary, why people indulge themselves in acting out in front of others at CHRISTMAS! EVERYONE was miserable! NO ONE gained anything! Pain regenerates more pain. Awful! And we poor in-laws and our young children! What were we to think or do??
Sadly those dynamics have indeed affected our own family over the years, and M-I-L may be the death of me yet, and I am not totally kidding.
So thank you for your prayers too!
They didn't "go with the flow"! Everything had to be PERFECT which of course created unrealizable expectations and strain. Perfect meal, perfect carving of the bird, everyone perfectly executing their assigned presumed roles. TOO many gifts. etc. etc. The perfect is the enemy of the good.
No peacemaker! When the inevitable eruption occurred, sides were taken. Reenacting the failed script of Christmases past. At least that is my take as an outsider. Almost leaning forward for the reenactment. Prepared to reprise their roles.
A few years ago In our home we were reprising a traditional Twelfth Night gathering of some of my family. My kid-anon was freaking out about getting one of the dishes PERFECT. I said, well let's just call them and call it off. The purpose is for us to ENJOY each others' company! NOT to get stressed out for the meal to be perfect! Well we went on to have a wonderful evening.
I do understand your mother's constant prayers. One of my aunts prayed for her son every night, wrapping the rosary around her fingers. She would fall asleep, but wake again to continue her prayers. It worked.
May PEACE reign in your family for this and every Christmas! And yeah every day of every year!
I wish all of us a Christmas of the Heart!
I'm so sorry you've had such bad experiences around Christmas too fren. The stress of this time of year really does get to everyone. It's not exactly Christmas-time that brought out some bad stuff from my brother, more like years and years of him never helping himself or self-improving even with constant financial or counseling help from our family. He refuses to get back on track. The strain he's put on my aging parents is just too much.
My mom is the same as your aunt, she prays every day and night, her rosary always in her hand. I do believe that someday our prayers will be heard and answered, but it seems like God is saying "Not yet." So we'll just have to keep praying and waiting, but I have faith that things will get better.
I wish you a Merry Christmas as well!
So unfair to your parents; he sounds like a lost soul. Miracles do happen but we can't change anyone else. Blessings!
IDK what possesses him or what he's been through but you have to understand, life can be hard. I pray he finds peace <3
I grew up with him and even I'm not entirely sure. I have some ideas, but unless he got some kind of mental or spiritual help to sort of diagnose the problem I may never know.
I know life is hard, but he acts like it was only ever hard on him, and not on my parents or me and our other siblings. We all grew up financially strained and my parents practically broke their backs to put us kids through school, and even more so for my brother who had learning troubles. The difference between him and myself and my other siblings is that we all did our best to learn in school to get the most we could out of our educations. He squandered it all the time and took it for granted. He never once appreciated the sacrifices my family made to help him.
Thank you for your prayers though, they are appreciated. I will pray for you and your family too.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks! Prayers have been sent.
God bless your brother and your family, fren! 🙏
Thank you, God bless you and yours as well, prayers have been sent for you too.
Thank you so much! Saying another prayer now for your brother Please lord let this family come together and heal the brother of this good patriot! Thank you God! Thank you Jesus! Amen. 🙏
Will pray for your family and all families. Families are so important, especially in these times. ((Big hugs))
Merry Christmas to you and all .
Thank you for the hugs fren! Honestly I've been needing some recently. Merry Christmas to you too!
God, please bless and protect our fren, the brother and the entire family.
May you heal and help everyone with your Divine wisdom.
May this family overcome any obstacles and enjoy a strong, lasting family bond.
Thank you for the prayers, I will pray for you as well.
Dear God this family is in turmoil and needs your guidance and light. Remember the prodigal son and bring their family member home.
In your sons name Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Thank you, this whole situation has reminded me of the Prodigal Son for a long time too. Let's hope that our story ends as well as that one did. I've sent prayers your way too.
Good luck and thank you.
Let me know how it goes.
Lifting up all the families that are in dire need of miracles from the Lord. Desiring His perfect will for our families, not His permissive will. Lord Jesus help us all to love as radically as you continue to. Jesus guide us all into reconciliation and revival in You! We can't do a thing without You Lord; we invite you in to our brokenness because we know You can fix it all, make it all new again! Guide our thoughts, feelings, will, and lives to your Son Father.
(My family is being torn apart as we speak. Prayers for mine would be appreciated.)
Thank you for the nice prayer, and I'm so sorry to hear your family is also suffering turmoil. Prayers being sent right now, and God Bless!
I am so sorry to hear this. A buddy of mine tried to have me discuss some political issues with s another friend of his wild he was drunk. I told my friend it wouldn't stick with the guy. My friend felt so sorry fir him because he is in a similar boat as your brother.
I hope both of them come back to Christ & I will certainly pray for them.
Thank you for the prayers, I've prayed for you too.
I also hope and pray he comes back to Christ and God. It has been a long struggle.
I have a brother who has severe TDS and it really is like a mental illness, so I can relate to you! Prayers out to you and family!
Thanks for the prayers, I've sent some your way too.
What's crazy is that my brother used to be hard left, now he's hard right (for the most part), and that used to be what he would fight with my family about, but now it's about old issues that have been underlying for some time. He just can't seem to let go.
My wife has a sister who won't let go of things from her childhood. Not abuse or anything that serious; just really petty things. Sometimes I think some people get some kind of weird enjoyment out of being angry about things.
We pray that God will bell you whole family with happiness this Christmas and New Year 🙏🙏
Thank you, I've prayed for you and your family as well.
We all need prayers!!
Your love oh Lord, reaches through the Heavens, your faithfullness stretches through the sky. You are Lord of Heaven and Earth.
Thank you, this is a nice prayer.
I firmly believe He hears our prayers because He knows our hearts. God is mighty.
Prayers on the way fren.
Thanks fren, same for you.
Thank you, my brother in law has the same issue. I will pray for you and let's all pray for one another here whoever or wherever you are.
Thank you, I've said a prayer for you too.
I prayed.
Thanks, I prayed for you as well.
Your family will be in my prayers.
Thank you, I've sent a prayer your way too.
I'm truly sorry OP. I hope he gets the help he needs, and the peace you all need.
Thanks fren, I hope he gets help as well. He refuses to seek any help, counseling, or spiritual advice. I will pray for you and your family too.
Father, we ask for Your Healing Touch on this troubled brother. Grant this family a Christmas filled with Your Grace to unite and mend this family so they will have a loving future. We Thank You Lord for Your Daily Blessings and ask for this in Your Precious Name! 🙏🙌
Thank you for the nice prayer, I've sent a prayer for you and your family too.
Aaaww...sweet! Blessings to your family lily! 🙏
Prayers sent 🙏
Thanks, prayers sent for you too.
Having lived w a similar circumstance in my own life I full understand. I have prayed for and will continue to do so for the entirety of your family. With a special focus upon your brother. This type of mindset in family members really destroyed my family when family was needed most. I've asked the Father to doare your family this misery and pain and replace it with peace happiness unity and bounty. If you have a moment. Please add my son Sean and my self and our ever faithful companion Copper to any prayer offerings. It's just us now. I'm still tryi g to find a job this holiday is just a reminder of Christmases of days we may never see again. For it was always a grand Holiday w all my aunts uncles cousins grand mother on my moms side. Everyone is gone now except us and my sister who I am guessing is the same as your brother. God bless you and yours. May all my fellow Anons have a happy magical blessed Christmas (your holiday here**)now and always.
I will definitely pray for you, your son Sean, and your fren Copper. Thank you for your prayers, God bless, and I wish you a very Merry Christmas!
